Gerald Asher, who served as Gourmet's wine editor for 30 years, has drawn together this selection of his essays, published in Gourmet and elsewhere, for the collective insight they give into why a wine should always be an expression of a place and a time.

It’s not too bad if you bought the bottle for yourself and decided you hated it. But what if you bought a sweet red wine as a gift only to find out the recipient's tastes are different?

Learning about wine will not only increase your appreciation for the drink, but will expand your mind. There is so much more to wine than a color and a name.

The best part, I feel, is that this is something that you can do with friends. Wine can bring people together. Beyond learning about how to taste wine, you can learn how to pair wine to your meal, or vice versa. You can impress people with your skills for pairings.

50 Things to Know About Wine by author David R. Comings offers a comprehensive, easy-to-listen-to, and approachable way to understand the world of wine. Most books on wine give you lots of great information without really telling you what to do with it. Although there's nothing wrong with that, in my experience, a book about wine should include “how” and not just “what".
